Global Warming in Canada

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the gases that are involved in creating the greenhouse effect. The writer proposes a solution to global warming for the residents of Canada. The paper looks to prove how an expansion of the forests will not only add to the beauty of the country, but will also aid in the reduction of dangerous gases.

From the Paper:

"Due to its vastly different climates from one coastline to the other, it is not surprising that Canada has become very interested in the problems of global warming. As a result of global warming, Canada has been struck with heavy heat waves, droughts, floods, and other extreme climate changes. All of these changes effect the lives of the nation in how they live, grow crops, earn livings and save money. Because carbon dioxide has been found to have a large effect on global warming, Canada must increase its major sinks of carbon dioxide and decrease its major sources. Research has shown that Canadian boreal forests are currently a sink for carbon dioxide. Due to the fact that these forests are still growing, they are able to hold more carbon, but as they mature this ability to store large amounts will decrease. In addition, if these forests continue to burn down or carry insects, they will become a large source of carbon dioxide, instead of a sink (Hengeveld, 519)."
